Debuted at Paste Magazine, Darlin' is a folk-pop-falling-in-love-confessional, replete with hand claps, floor toms, swelling electric guitars, and a steady mandolin hook, set against a simple, but believable romantic landscape.
Recorded at The Fortress (LA) under the watchful eye of producer Andy Freeman (Eisley, Manchester Orchestra), this little love anthem is the product of the last few months of secrecy, and we could not be more excited to finally be able to share it with you all.
lyrics
Darlin'
All i really know
Is that i've been
Fallin' for you
Darlin', darlin', what do you say?
Have you been
Fallin' for me too?
If you fall, if you fall, I'll catch you
So won't you fall, won't you fall in love with me?
Darlin', darlin' it's my turn
To tell you
What i've been keeping to myself
Fallin', fallin's not so hard
When the falling
Is in love with you!
Oh I fell, oh i fell, but you caught me
Oh i fell, oh i fell in love with you!
Fallin', fallin's not so hard
When the falling
Is in love with you.
Paper Window emotionally captures me with every listen. It houses my favourite song ever written and keeps me together when all hope feels lost. Keith Porteous (they/em)
it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha
